Yang Yü (diplomat)

Yang Yü^[1] (Chinese:楊儒, Pinyin: Yáng Rú, 1840 – 17 February 1902) was a diplomat of Qing dynasty. He was the Chinese Ambassador to the United States from 1893-1896 and ambassador to Russia (1896-?).

Yang signed the Gresham-Yang Treaty in 1894 with Walter Q. Gresham, the US Secretary of State.^[1]^[2] It is a crucial extension of the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 and the direct cause for the 1905 Chinese boycott.
